In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Alongside economic development, the growing necessity to respect the importance of the natural environment has been addressed across China, with industrial cleaning thus becoming a green industry, something which in turn has also stimulated the growth of the market for industrial cleaning products, such as pressure washers. The China Clean Expo (CCE) 2013, organised by the Shanghai International Exhibition Co., Ltd. (UBM Sinoexpo), will be held in April 2013 at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Centre. This year, CCE 2013 is creating an exclusive Industrial Safety and Cleaning Pavilion showcasing a wide range of industrial cleaning products from cleaning equipment, high pressure cleaning pumps, industrial safety supplies and all relevant technology. The exhibition is expected to attract thousands of existing cleaning supplies manufacturers, distributors and agents, as well as end-users from the industrial and commercial cleaning sector, providing them a unique trade platform for future development.

At present, there are millions of heat exchangers, boilers, and various pieces of industrial and related equipment in China. All these devices are being run with dirt and rust. In these cases, the traditional industrial cleaning causes the heat transfer efficiency rate to reduce by 90%, while energy consumption is increased and the quality of production is affected. Industrial cleaning of large equipment plays a significant role in industrial production. In addition, many other industries such as power, chemical, metallurgy, tobacco, pharmaceutical, telecommunications, banks, hotels, shopping malls, offices, railway, civil aviation, etc. all need cleaning in China.

In the past 10 years, the world cleaning industry has developed greatly. In Europe, the United States and other developed countries, cleaning has become a part of improving people's quality of life. According to statistics on Baidu Baike, the 8,000 global suppliers of cleaning supplies, including those from Europe, the United States, Japan and other developed countries, accounted for two-thirds of it, with an annual output value of over 50 billion yuan. The industrial cleaning gap between what the market can provide and the demand for industrial development in China has created a huge space for development in the cleaning industry!

International brands compete in local marketThe exhibition organisers will invite 300 cleaning exhibitors from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, South Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries and regions to exhibit. HAMMELMANN and PRATISSOLI of Italy Interpump Group, the global leader in high-pressure pumps, also expressed interest and excitement about the debut of the 2013 show.

Show size breaks recordsThe organiser attaches great importance to the cleaning industry, especially in the field of industrial cleaning. Cleaning associations like VDMA, Afidamp, E-united and the national industrial cleaning Information Centre, the Shanghai Chemical Industry Association and the Shanghai Stone Industry Association are all working together with the organiser to enhance the quality of the exhibition and its onsite events. In addition, the organiser will promote CCE through media across the globe, such as with CMM from the USA, ECJ from the UK, Reinigungs from Germany, Inclean from Australia, Professional Cleaning from Russia, Clean India, Clean Middle East, Ringier Media Group, Vogel Media Group and so on.

The entire exhibition is expected to reach 40,000 square metres, and will attract 20,000 professional visitors!

Various seminars and demonstrationsIn order to enhance visitor experience, the organisers aim to bring the audience a more substantive view and a deeper understanding of the products displayed. They are therefore creating a series of seminars and demonstrations focusing on the hot topics in different segments of the cleaning industry; for example, a seminar on food safety in food production plants, industrial safety, cleaning demonstrations and so forth.

With these onsite activities, companies should gain a better understanding of the existing issues and problems, as well as find efficient cleaning equipment and solutions to energy conservation and competitive demands that are of course the ultimate goal.
